To function properly in the rigorous tissue environment, implanted scaffolds for tissue
engineering are required to meet certain standards of strength and mechanical integrity.
However, the soft nature and moisture condition of biomaterials impose great challenges to
many existing techniques and instrumentations for measuring their mechanical properties at
micro/nano scale. In this work, we demonstrate the testing methodologies of micro/nano fiber
reinforced type I collagens, and obtain basic mechanical property data of two types of …
